Segmented Bowl

[Mike Golka]

Here is another bowl from wood given to me by the Doc. from South Africa. Don't know what type of wood it is but the bowl is made from a single board that had a lot of sap wood. It measures 10.5" x 4.5" with 3/8" wall. Thanks for looking. Coments and critiques welcome.

Mike that is a beauty. The sap wood sure does contrast with the darker wood. Really nice piece.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful bowl Mike! Love the color contrasts in the wood! Great looking joints and finish! Really like the form on this one! Very nice work!

Thanks Bernie & Steve, I think it's all the great examples here on the Creek that give us novices the push in the right direction. I know I have a lot to learn but forums like this are invaluable to people like myself. Thank you all.

Nice bowl Mike! As mentioned, quite the color variation from the same board.

[Scott Lux]

Nicely done. The contrast betwixt the sapwood and heartwood is great. Are they likely to move at different rates? I'd hate to hear of that piece pulliing itself apart.

Man I really like that one! What a great job and beautiful wood!
